DESCRIPTION
Our Apricot Kernel Organic Carrier Oil is cold pressed from the kernels of organically grown apricots (Prunus armeniaca), yielding a light to true yellow liquid with a mild nutty aroma. A standout ingredient in organic personal care products, this nutrient-rich, light to yellow-hued liquid retains its full nutrient profile while supporting agricultural, economical, and social sustainability.
This oil's composition includes essential fatty acids such as oleic and linoleic acids, which deliver moisturizing and nourishing properties, along with vitamins A and E that double as protective antioxidants. Apricot Kernel Oil is also known for its similarities to human sebum that balances oil levels on the skin and scalp.
In both skin care and hair care formulations, Organic Apricot Kernel Oil imparts softness and shine without leaving a greasy residue. It also integrates seamlessly and is compatible with other botanical ingredients, ensuring stability while delivering naturally beautiful results.
